While browsing through all the insanely cute useful things sold on fredflare.com, all I could think about was how ugly my kitchen aid skillet was because it didn't have a smiling panda on it. Then suddenly so many things in my kitchen seemed so ugly and boring like my measuring cups because they weren't cute little russian dolls, my cutting boards because they weren't blue and elephant shaped, and my spatulas because they weren't bright green with a smiley frog shape.
Actually to be honest, I wouldn't want my kitchen full of that stuff, but I have to admit that practical everyday things that we fill our homes with are not all that aesthetically pleasing. It's so easy to find everything in plain black, void of color or pattern. That's why I fell head over heels the first time I saw a cartoon character shaped USB flash drive where u pop his head off to plug him in!
In my opinion, bringing an artistic element to practical everyday items is a huge market for designers. I definitely see it growing in the future, especially as I discover the beautiful things people have crafted on etsy.com. If beauty is so valuable and enjoyable, we have no reason to neglect it from being a part of the things we use so regularly. Even for someone who would prefer the simplicity of plain objects, I don't think they would object to having more available options.
